Wednesday, September 20
PostScript and PDF
versions of slides 58-146 have been posted.
TAs will only be available from 5 to 6 p.m. for practicals.
The TAs will keep this same schedule for the rest of the semester. So,
if you have questions, you'll have to wait until 5 to ask a TA.
Please do not ask me or the TAs to change this arrangement, because
we can't. Because of the TAs' schedules, none of them can make 4-5 p.m.
(Last week, they were able to attend because the labs at that time for
the courses they were taking were cancelled. Remember: They're students
too!)
Monday, September 18
Tutorial notes for week 2 have been
posted.
Thursday, September 14
Assignment 1 announcements have
been updated.
My policy for electronic correspondence
(i.e. e-mail and newsgroup use as it pertains to this course) has been
posted. It is required reading; please read it before you send
your next e-mail to me or the course newsgroup.
The following links have been posted to help you with questions about
ECF-related items, such as your e-mail account and how to use UNIX:
If you want to work on your assignments at home, you will need a C/C++
compiler, a text editor and an FTP client (to FTP your files back and
forth to your account on ecf.toronto.edu), at the very
least. Here are links to (free) examples of these for Windows users:
- Cygwin - RedHat's
port of GNU's development tools (including
gcc and g++,
the GNU C and C++ compilers) for Windows 95/98/NT
- Emacs
- A powerful text editor for Windows NT (also works on Windows 95/98)
- WS_FTP LE - Educational use
version of WS_FTP, an FTP client for Windows
There are many other good compilers, text editors and FTP clients out
there on the Internet, so don't hesitate to look around. If you have
a link you would like to share, please e-mail
the instructor.
Neither the instructor nor the TAs will provide technical support for
this software. There are many good resources (especially on the Internet)
that can help you better than we could. Use them.

I tried converting the PostScript version of the slides to PDF on a
different server, and it worked. So, the PDF
for slides 1-57 is now available.
Tuesday, September 12
It appears that the tutorial has been moved to M12 (in GB405 and HA403)
and that the practical has been moved to W4-6 (in SF1106 and SF1012).
So, as announced in class, there will be a practical tomorrow. To prepare
for practical, you can print out and read this handout.
TAs will be on hand to help you with any questions you may have.
Regarding ECF accounts, apparently they are automatically set up for
you, so you should be able to follow the instructions in the handout
and log in to ECF successfully. If you experience any problems with
your account, visit GB154.
The following items have been posted/updated:
Friday, September 8
Unfortunately, I still have not received any updates on the tutorial/practical
situation. As announced in class, tutorials for next week are cancelled.
If the practical is scheduled for Monday, then it will also be cancelled;
however, if the practical is scheduled for Wednesday, it will be held.
I will post the first set of slides and a course information sheet
as soon as the tutorial/practical situation is resolved. Hopefully this
will be sooner rather than later.
